A message from Amatus Health CEO Mark Gold

To Our Dedicated Amatus Team Members:

As we follow the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the global community, the health and safety of our employees and clients remains our top priority.

Our company serves a population that needs us the most during this most unsettling and unprecedented time. We, as the corporate teams, hold vital functions to support and allow our front lines, our facilities, to operate and provide quality care. Because our facilities’ services are contingent on our work, our offices will remain open until mandated otherwise by governing bodies.

Just as it is our mission to care for our clients and be there in time of need, it is on that same token that we take pride in caring for the needs of our employees. To that end, please:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick.

Stay home when you are sick.

When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with fixed elbow or tissue, and throw away the tissue immediately, wash hands after as well.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Do not shake hands.

Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet whenever possible.

We recognize that you may have concerns and circumstances that would make it difficult for you to work from the office. If this is the case, please reach out to your supervisor to discuss further. Depending on your role, scope of responsibilities and the reason for your absence, you may be allowed to work from home at your supervisor’s discretion. If remote work doesn’t meet the approved criteria or if working remotely is not possible, you will be asked to utilize your PTO if you do not wish to come to the office.

We have amazing teams across Amatus and its companies. This moment reminds us that we’re all connected. We’re called upon to be our best selves with patience, understanding and compassion, so that we may stay committed and persevere together in all the days and years ahead.

As we go forward, we’ll be sure to keep you updated, and know that we always value your questions and feedback.

Addiction and Suboxone Detox

Getting out of addiction is hard. You face withdrawal symptoms after abusing substances for long enough that you suffer physical and psychological dependence. But for people addicted to opioids, Suboxone detox provides help. This helpful medication bridges the gap between addiction and recovery, the gap you face to achieve a better life.

Suboxone detox also helps by giving you relief from cravings for your drug. That makes it easier to get through the earliest days of recovery. But to stay safe during Suboxone treatment, you need help from a licensed and accredited medical detox program.

About Suboxone Detox

Suboxone detox treats opioid addiction. The medication combines buprenorphine and naloxone. Together, these two medications help you break through cravings for your drug without getting you high. Using this drug, you trick your brain into thinking you have taken your usual opioid, so you do not suffer cravings.

Many people find success in recovery when they start it with Suboxone detox. Many studies prove how effective this treatment is in treating opioid addiction. But Suboxone alone is not enough to keep you sober for your lifetime. You also need therapies to learn about your addiction, why you started abusing drugs in the first place and how to stay sober.

Suboxone Detox Pros and Cons

Like any other treatment, Suboxone presents pros and cons. The positives include how Suboxone works well for many people with addictions like yours. Because several generic forms of Suboxone exist, you can better afford detox using the drug.

Other pros include reduction of your cravings using the medication, without feeling high. You enjoy better mental clarity on Suboxone than on methadone. Fewer side effects occur than when using other opioid detox drugs. You make better decisions on Suboxone and maintain better respiratory performance than with methadone, too.

The negatives of Suboxone include using the detox medication with your opioid. Not being under medical supervision also leads many people to abuse it. You can become dependent on Suboxone if you do not use it as directed.

Other people go through opioid withdrawal effects with the medication, including sweating, fever, shaking, runny nose and watery eyes. They also may experience goosebumps, vomiting, diarrhea and muscle cramps.

The best method of using Suboxone for detox is in a licensed and accredited detox facility, where you receive medical supervision. This keeps you safe from potential Suboxone side effects and your regular drug use. You gain an individualized treatment plan after a healthcare professional determines whether Suboxone is right for you.

Who Benefits from Detox Using Suboxone

The best environment for using Suboxone for detox is a licensed and accredited detox center like Serenity House Detox in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida. When using Suboxone under medical detox supervision, you enjoy a more gentle detox from opioids, such as for heroin or fentanyl addiction. Also with Suboxone in a licensed facility you do not risk abusing the medication or becoming dependent on it.

You should not use Suboxone for home detox, especially if you self-dose and fear abusing the medication. People with allergies to Suboxone ingredients should not use it either. Pregnant women, people with breathing, lung, kidney or liver problems, or those using medications conflicting with Suboxone should not use it, either. People who drink alcohol should avoid using this medication without supervision.
